"Link address is not valid" during Post and Print + PDF

Votuc

Hi, have another question:

I have code based on this that allows a Sales Invoice to be converted to PDF then attached to email when clicking the Post + Print" button.

When I run the code it Posts the order and brings up the email but also says: "Link address is not valid" and the "Edit sales order" window stays open.

Any idea what "Link address is not valid" means in my code?

                  REPORT.SAVEASPDF(206, 'C:\temp\'+STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1.pdf',SalesInvHeader."No.")+'.pdf', SalesInvHeader);
                   
                  HYPERLINK('C:\temp\'+STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1.pdf',SalesInvHeader."No.")+'.pdf'); //opens PDF on screen
                   
                  SalesInvHeader.SETRANGE("Posting Description",'Order ' + "No.");
                  SalesInvHeader.FIND('-');
                  invno := SalesInvHeader."No.";
                  Cust.SETRANGE("No.",SalesInvHeader."Sell-to Customer No.");
                  Cust.FIND('-');
                  emailtoaddr := Cust."E-Mail";

                  Mail.NewMessage(emailtoaddr,emailccaddr,STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1',SalesInvHeader."No."),
      'Attached please find invoice ' + SalesInvHeader."No." +'.','\\'+Hostname+'\C$\temp\'+STRSUBSTNO
      ('Invoice No. %1.pdf',SalesInvHeader."No.")+'.pdf',true)

Turn on the debugger and see which line it stops on.

SAVEASPDF is run on the service tier. And your hyperlink is run locally, that is why it says "Link address not valid". You need to transfer the PDF file to the RTC before you can hyperlink to it.

Thank you SNielsen - that explains why it works on the server PC but not from the RTC on the client's PC. Do you know what else I can use??

This is a 3-tier thread - not classic. I'm sorry I failed to mention that I am working with 3-tier but that is why I posted it under 3-tier.
